More K-ON! extras aliases

Posted under General

Aliasing girl_with_hair_over_one_eye_(k-on!) -> kinoshita_shizuka.
Aliasing girl_with_exchange_diary_(k-on!) -> chika_(k-on!).
Aliasing sasaki_(k-on!) -> sasaki_youko

Reason: Given recent episodes of K-ON!!, it looks like a lot of the classmates are getting confirmed due to the subtitles since several had a chance to speak (and there's also a few even get mentioned by name in the dialogue). The first appears to have her full name thanks to a comment from the director in the staff commentary (assuming from Vol. 1 extras) where her family name was mentioned and her seiyuu Kataoka Azusa's blog The others are directly from the closed captioning in ep. 18 as is the usual case.

We already have oota_ushio accounted for, and she shares the latest BD insert with haruko_(k-on!). Her name is given as 近田春子 which could be Kinta, Kinda, Konta, Konda, Gonda, Chikata or Chikada. And maybe more.

Do we have any other evidence that clues us into which reading? For some reason Konda sounds like the most common one to me, but that doesn't mean much.

There appears to be a musician named Chikada Haruo. Given that many of the classmates appear to have part of their name referencing some musician or band member (as with the main characters), I think it may be safe to assume that reading for her family name, if it hasn't been given officially.

Done. We're really working through these now. Should have them all soon!

Also reminds me I should be watching episode 22 right now, not posting on Danbooru. Curses. Well, I did get pretty behind on threads here.

It looks like there is evidence of absolutely everyone's full names in episode 24:

I think that the characters are matched up there going from the seating order at graduation (or maybe from the opening ceremony too), so a good bit of that may be speculative (though probably correct given how much is known already). It should work as confirmation for those who have some of their name revealed, though...

ichigo_(k-on!) -> wakaouji_ichigo
mika_(k-on!) -> saeki_mika
fujii_chika (and previous aliases) -> nojima_chika (It seems like I came across hints that the CC may be wrong here before from not matching up with the name order, and it looks like that ended up being right. No one else seems to be called "Fujii" anyway, though, so thankfully no extra confusion from that)

Here's another page that helps illustrate a little bit how everyone's name was found:

Really, watching over the whole graduation scene again (and checking out all of the closer views of the order), it seems the listing there is pretty flawless, since all of the known names (which there are a lot by this point) fit in perfectly in the order. There's not much doubt on the rest we need aliases for (got a good view of them and they line up between characters already known), so I'll suggest them now:

girl_with_mole_under_one_eye_(k-on!) -> endou_michiko
girl_with_long_skirt_(k-on!) -> sunahara_yoshimi
girl_from_k-on!_who_looks_like_rukia_from_bleach -> shimizu_kyouko
